Drug Cartels (no versions-just idea, need answer/opinion)

[ppgangster]

Before I start on anything, would someone be kind enough to tell me if there was an attempt at making a world map about Drug Cartels or something similar...

I am nursing an Idea about a tourney and I just thought ,
"Would it be cool if I could have a map that would fit the theme of my tournament?"

Here is an image taken from a website that gave me an idea!



I would not take that as the map, but the starting idea... it was taken from a PBS site, here it is!

I think there is a lot to do with that, Bonus would be fun to implement/design and the attack routes can be endless... I won't be able to make it myself per say, So I might need someone to help out on this or just take over the idea and bring it forth...

I like the idea, have one way for smugglers, make special GP, I like it


The only way to make this work is to have it with starting positions, I don't think standard would work

Do you have intent on making this?

There's not a map like this yet, and I haven't seen one suggested

The only thing remotely similar currently in play that I can think of is this :

Maybe you could include drug "hideouts" and "cops" etc...?

It would be Stash Houses and "Feds" but good addition

I like all of your ideas so far... I'm not really into map making right now, maybe in a couple of weeks (appartments, moving, new job and getting out for 3 months in a new work place with a roommate and no actual place of my own will require some adaptation time), but I would like to keep the ideas running because, I would really like to figure out the game play before starting to mess around with a map!

I would actually like to get another tip, is there any tutorial or anything like that about "drawing" in photoshop CS3, because I can retouch a lot of pictures and make some mash ups, but I can't seem to be able to draw properly... (I am not even thinking of shadows and lighter colors yet...)

Keep the ideas flowing, I like it!

I think you are looking for a mpa with a lot of one way attack options.
So instead of just being able to attack locally, you will be able to attack over routes, like the train use map.
A different theme ofcourse
